Davido Sets The Record Straight: My Music Isn't Just Afro Beats,it's Afro Fusion by DyshApp: 12:14pm On Apr 25 |
Award-winning singer Davido has followed some of his colleagues to denounce the afrobeats genre. He joined Wizkid, Burna Boy and Fireboy to denounce the popular genre. Appearing on the latest edition of the Business Untitled Podcast, the ‘OBO’ crooner lamented the “boxing” of all African artists into the Afrobeats genre regardless of their musical styles. He said: “The first place that accepted African music outside Africa is the UK before America later joined. The UK termed African music Afrobeats. “Afrobeat is a sound that was originally pioneered by Fela Kuti. But now all African songs are termed Afrobeats. If an African artiste sings pure R&B, sounding like SZA, Summerwalker, they put them under Afrobeats. If an African rapper rapping like Drake, they still put them under Afrobeats. “I don’t get offend when we’ve been categorised as Afrobeats. I mean, we need a genre. It could be R&B or Afropop. I call my music Afrofusion but I’m not big on ‘O put Afrofusion on my song.’ I know how long it took for African music to become mainstream.” 👉Follow up with more Naija Gist on Dyshus Webpage
